All are welcome!

It’s not too late to enhance your Lenten season by attending one of two new Lenten small group studies that are new. The first is beginning/began this morning, 40 Days of Doubt: Devotions for the Skeptic by Eric Huffman, meets at 10:10 in the Library every Sunday morning. The second is a group meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays in the Faith Builders classroom. That group will study on the Seven Last Words of Christ. Child care is available for both of those studies and everyone is welcome.

In 2019, we have four small groups in place. The Supper Club, which meets once a month, is a big hit in our small groups. They have split into two different groups to hold all the people wanting to be a part. One group is led by the Gee and Rogas families and the other by the Ratcliff and Henley families.

The newest small group will begin February 17th and will be led by Sue and Gary Hewitt at 9:30 a.m. in the Fellowship House. The group will be doing a study on the book Unafraid by Adam Hamilton. For anyone struggling with fear, worry, anxiety or anyone who wonders how families and communities can live as peacemakers in troubled times, this study offers an informed and inspiring message full of practical solutions.

If you are interested in signing up for a small group study or would like more information, please contact Pastor T.J. in the office at 979-836-2008.

Fellowship Class

The Fellowship Class meets in the Fellowship Room, located in the office area of the Education Building and opens its doors to persons of all ages – single or married. Issues for presentation and discussion are usually short term in duration and represent a variety of theological and biblical perspectives to help persons bring meaning to daily living. Leadership is provided by class members or clergy and lively discussion is encouraged. Studies have included: “Difficult Passages in the Bible”, “Putting Faith into Action”, etc. This class meets for dinner out on the third Friday (usually) of each month at a place the group chooses. Come fellowship with us!

Faithbuilders Class

The Faithbuilders Class is, as our name implies, a fellowship of believers who are consistently seeking to build our faith in God and in His Son, to build our faith in others and in ourselves. We seek to grow in our faith in all of these areas by studying the Word, learning from others of great faith, and learning from each other. Learning can be fun! We believe, as Jesus indicated so many times, in fellowshipping together. This great fellowship has taught us much about loving others and caring for others, in our class, in our church and in our community. We laugh a lot, we care a lot, we learn a lot - come join us!

Seekers Class

The Seekers class meets at 10:10 AM in the Mission House located across the street from the church office. It is a class for adults of all ages. At this time, we are studying the book of Luke. We welcome you to come and join us!

Sunday Morning Lenten Bible Study
